Churches, VFW halls, American Legion posts and other places fry up untold tons of fish every Friday between Ash Wednesday and, in some cases, Good Friday. There are even a few spots where you can get fried fish year-round. Use the map below to find one near you.
If we missed your organization’s fish fry, send details to abertrand@post-dispatch.com.
Throughout the Lenten season hundreds of fish fries take place in the St. Louis region. The St. Alphonsus Liguori Rock Catholic Church does it a bit different than most, operating from lunch hour through dinner, rather than just the traditional dinner hours. Fry cook and parishioner Jan Reed lays out what makes a successful fried fish fillet in the gym at the St. Alphonsus Liguori Rock Catholic Church in St. Louis on Friday, March 06, 2020.
